You are searching water. I can tell you a source of some seas.
Try to collect English version of some famous Sanskrit literature, like "CHANAKYA NITI" or "Chanakya Slokas".
Then try the works of Socrates (Socrates Quotes).
And then others.
Thanks.
Quotations by Allama Iqbal (Muhammad Iqbal) are very famous and you can use them. I am writing a few for you below:-
i) People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature, liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals.
ii) The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
iii) Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity.
iv) Since love first made the breast an instrument Of fierce lamenting, by its flame my heart Was molten to a mirror, like a rose I pluck my breast apart, that I may hang This mirror in your sight.
Best regards,
